Bamberg Cathedral is a late Romanesque cathedral built between 1002 and 1237 on the orders of King Henry II, with four towers rising 81 metres. Inside stand the Bamberg Horseman equestrian statue, the marble tomb of Henry II and Kunigunde carved by Tilman Riemenschneider, and the only papal grave north of the Alps.
Michaelsberg Abbey is a former Benedictine monastery on a hilltop above Bamberg's old town, founded in 1015 by Bishop Eberhard I. Its abbey church of St. Michael, built in Romanesque and later Baroque style, closed for structural repairs in 2012 and reopened to visitors in April 2026. Former monastery buildings now house a city retirement home and a brewery museum.
